I said goodbye to Eric and Ryane, and Eric dropped me off at the Albany-Rensallear train station at about 10:45 AM for my 11 AM train. When I got to the station, I discovered that the train was going to be at least 30 minutes late. That was going to screw up my connection in…
In order to “warm up” after being out in the cold for much of the day, Eric bought some tequila and also the stuff needed to make margaritas. Now, I’d never had tequila before let alone drink it the way one is supposed to drink it. Eric showed me what to do, however, and after…

My second full day in Albany was strikingly different from the first–mainly because it snowed overnight and the temperatures plummeted. Where it felt almost muggy out on Saturday, there was a cutting wind and several inches of snow (and ice) on Sunday. With the windchill, the temperature never broke -5 degrees. But we didn’t let…

Eric was playing some hilarious music in the car today–by a guy named Richard Cheese. This guys takes popular songs of all genres, rock, metal, rap, r&b, and makes them into “lounge” songs. He’s got a great band backing them and a clear voice that brings out the absurdity of some of the songs he…

Eric and Ryane took me to this Indian food place in Albany called Ghandi. It was the first time I ever knowingly tried Indian food and it was all delicious. We ordered a bunch of stuff and I tried some of everything: chicken Mahkani, saag (sometimes called palak paneer), which is a spinich and cheese…
